A common feeling among the Bianconeri as they left the Stadium in Florence: everyone has the impression of having lost two points instead of earning one. Gilardino's equalizer, coming right at the end, left a bitter taste in everybody's mouth. Here are the comments from some of the stars of the match.

Pavel Nedved: "We should've finished them off and gone 2-0 up. In any case, I liked how the team handled a very tough game, showing no fear and with a great spirit".

Gigi Buffon: "We were tasting victory already, but in the last year and a half we've come to understand that you always have to wait before celebrating when Fiorentina are involved. We have to give credit to the Viola, they never give up, but with one man more than them the game looked over. The goal we conceded? Lately I've been letting in some beautiful goals".

Nicola Legrottaglie: "Before the game we would have settled for a result like this, but now we almost feel like we lost. It's a shame, because they'd created so little and also because we never concede goals like that. Let's forget all this and focus on the next game".
